Just a simple question:
When the money is gone (be it stolen or anything else), isn't Cryptsy's company Project Investors Inc. required to a) report the theft/accident/whatever to FINCEN and b) file for bankruptsy protection, both as soon as they get aware of the mess? If they don't do so, it's fraud, and it's high time that the authorities look into it and get hold of the persons in charge.
So, what are the authorities doing at the moment?
http://blog.cryptsy.com/We do, however, fully comply with our Federal MSB requirements. This includes filing SAR (Suspicous Activity Reports) and CTR (Currency Transaction Reports). We also have one of the most extensive KYC programs in the industry, scrub accounts against the OFAC list, and perform Transaction Monitoring. At a federal level, we are compliant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_activity_reportIn the United States, FinCEN requires that an SAR be filed by a financial institution when the financial institution suspects insider abuse by an employee; violations of law aggregating over $5,000 where a subject can be identified;[clarification needed] violations of law aggregating over $25,000 regardless of a potential subject; transactions aggregating $5,000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the Bank Secrecy Act; computer intrusion; or when a financial institution knows that a customer is operating as an unlicensed money services business.
Each SAR must be filed within 30 days of the date of the initial determination for the necessity of filing the report. An extension of 30 days can be obtained if the identity of the person conducting the suspicious activity is not known. At no time, however, should the filing of an SAR be delayed longer than 60 days. The Bank Secrecy Act specifies that each firm must maintain records of its SARs for a period of five years from the date of filing.
